Like many railway enthusiasts, I had been aware of the names
of Henry Casserley (HCC) and Richard Casserley (RMC) for many
years. I had corresponded with both gentlemen and included a
number of their photographs in several of my own rolling stock
books. I never thought that I might have the opportunity of
selecting and captioning them “en masse” and was both pleased
and honoured when Mary Casserley asked if I would do just
that for what would become the third book commissioned by
her, of her late grandfather’s photographs; following on from
“Steaming Through Berkhamsted” and “Steaming Through the
Chilterns”. Of course, little did I know that those pictures taken
between August 1931 and May 1939, while HCC resided at
Bromley, would number in excess of 1800 images! So, it has
proved to be quite a task – but one that I have enjoyed
immensely.
